(Pikmin Extinction)
Line 1: Line 1:
Pikmin extinction occurs when every single [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], including those planted in the ground and stored in the [[Onion]]s, is lost. The day ends immediately and the Onions each produce a single seed at the beginning of the following day.
A '''Pikmin Extinction''' is an unfortunate event that can occur in both [[Pikmin]] and [[Pikmin 2]]. It occurs if, after Day 1 in either games, your total number of [[Pikmin]] in the Field and in the [[Onions]] reaches 0. After [[Olimar]] or [[The Ship]] mentions it, the day will automatically end. The next day, each Onion will release 1 sprout of each color, allowing you to rebuild your Pikmin count from the beginning.
 
In [[Pikmin 1]], the following is Olimar's Journal entry on the first day extinction occurs:
 
:''The Pikmin have all perished because of my own carelessness. I am an utter disgrace as a leader... How can I continue to collect parts without them? Still the Onions join me in low orbit, as if this Pikmin extinction had never happened. I shan't sleep tonight...''
 
Many fans regard Extinction as being "childish", "careless" and even "cruel" due to the fact that after extinction, the player must regrow all of their armies from scratch. If players do not treat the 1-3 Pikmin given to them with care, their small, weak force will be easy prey to all manner of enemies and could quickly lead to another Extinction. To prevent this from happening, the safest place to grow Pikmin after an Extinction is [[The Impact Site]] in the first Pikmin game, and in [[Pikmin 2]] the [[Awakening Wood]] is safe so long as one does not stray too far from the landing site.

A Pikmin Extinction is an unfortunate event that can occur in both Pikmin and Pikmin 2. It occurs if, after Day 1 in either games, your total number of Pikmin in the Field and in the Onions reaches 0. After Olimar or The Ship mentions it, the day will automatically end. The next day, each Onion will release 1 sprout of each color, allowing you to rebuild your Pikmin count from the beginning.
